Description
For sale: stunning 1960 Mercedes 190 SL with 39, 000 km on the clock (5-digit odometer)
• Exceptional provenance: Original European vehicle. Single owner from 1960 to 2022, rare and guaranteeing impeccable, fully documented traceability (purchase invoice, period documentation, etc.). Never accident-damaged.
• Authenticity: interior, engine bay and underside entirely in original condition, offering genuine patina impossible to find on fully restored examples.
• Maintenance & Mechanics: Regular use in dry conditions. Recent service including:
○ New radiator
○ Spark plugs and oil change up to date
○ MOT (CT) passed
○ Weber carburettors – more reliable and easier to tune than original Solex units
• Bodywork: Excellent panel gaps. Resprayed 40 years ago (period invoice in Belgian francs available). Paint presents excellent overall condition despite minor imperfections from age, testament to the car's history (minor dents or blistering). For concours condition, a respray would be ideal (budget approximately £6, 000).
• Equipment:
○ New alpaca hood.
○ "Grande Vitre" hardtop included, in very good condition.
○ Standard registration document
2022 valuation: £95, 000
The car is not in concours condition, the price reflects this, but it is authentic with impeccable provenance for a 66-year-old vehicle.
